Hello, I am running FreeBSD-3.4 on an i386 box and was wondering if FreeBSD allowed for the hot swapping of certain external SCSI devices. With linux, I can make my scsi card support a module in the kernel. That way if I forgot to power up my external SCSI Zip drive, say, I can unload the module, power up my SCSI device, then reload the module. Voila, a new SCSI bus probe occurs and my Zip is detected. I'm pretty sure FreeBSD-3.4 can't do SCSI support as an LKM, but maybe someone knows of a way I can induce a hot reprobe of the SCSI bus for newly added devices? If there's no command line way to do this, can I hack something? My SCSI card is supported by the new CAM subsystem. Can I take advantage of anything there for devices like Zip drives?
